The post-game interview saw Anand summed up the situation after Round 6 of World Chess Championship, "It is a heavy blow for me". Meaning the worst happened, Magnus Carlsen once again won the game, making it 4-2 for current standing on this World Championship of Chess match. Game six went in Ruy Lopez opening, Anand was white and Carlsen with black continued his Berlin line, only now Anand diverted with 4.d3 and 5.c3 setup. Carlsen pressing a bit and surprisingly the game reach a middlegame in which Black was quite active. Suddenly reaching the first time control, Black already one pawn ahead. For the challenger, one pawn was adequate and with Anand blundered in 60.Ra4, Carlsen found a creative trap to finish this rook endgame. His f pawn was the key and the rook smartly trap the white king on the unrecoverable h file, while his rook also semi trap by his own pawns. Carlsen score yet again, Tania Sachdev comments as pulling a rabbit out of a hat. Carlsen gives a creative endgame play, and according to twitter, right now Averbakh endgame books is trending!
The current score move to 4-2 for Carlsen favor in winning Chess World Champion title. The question by now, how Anand going to do to score +2 in 6 games. The round also saw yet again failure of post-game interview because the journalist was not doing their best job to find informative questions for both players. In fact, Anand uncharacteristically too exhaust to answer insignificant questions thrown to him.
